Community House Woman’s Board Kicks-Off Antiques + Modernism Show

The Woman’s Board of the Community House hosted a kick-off event for The 2019 Antiques + Modernism Show on Thursday, September 19, at Vivid Art Gallery, 895 Green Bay Road in Winnetka. Guests enjoyed viewing the Gallery’s art collection and hearing about plans for the annual A+M Show while enjoying an array of light bites and libations.

“We’re pleased to launch this year’s A+M Show, the main fundraiser for the Community House, with such a supportive community partner,” said Kim Ronan, board member and co-chair of the 2019 A+M show. “Launching this year’s A+M show among the striking paintings of featured landscape artist Lucie Phillips and local artist Harold Bauer, a former symphony conductor, is an auspicious start for this year’s benefit.”

In 2009, the Winnetka Antiques Show and the Modernim Show were fused to create the current A+M Show. Esteemed national dealers showcase curated seletions of American, European and Asian antiques as well as Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and Mid-Century Modern design pieces. A+M offers a wide variety of furniture, jewelry, rugs, fine art, and decorative items at an array of price points.

The Preview Party kicks off the Show weekend on Thursday, November 7, from 6:30-9:30 p.m., with the A+M Show running Friday, November 8, through Sunday, November 10. The weekend will also include two programs featuring the expertise of acclaimed interior designers and dealers from the Show: “Designers and Dealers: The Art of the Mix” and “An Adventurous Life: Global Interiors.”

All A+M proceeds support the programs and services of the Community House, a non-tax supported organization. The building at 620 Lincoln Avenue in Winnetka was placed on the National Registry of Historic Places in August 2007. The Woman’s Board’s mission is to provide financial and volunteer support for this important community institution. For more information, visit www.TheWinnetkaShow.com or call 847-446-0537.
